About this artwork
This work was created during a period in my life when I was intensely immersed in the world of my two young children. When I watch them paint, I see how they capture their immediate surroundings—Mom, Dad, house, garden—with simple clarity and great expressiveness. Their paintings are also a way to understand their world.
Essentially, my artistic work differs little from that—except that life has become more complex. My paintings, too, are an expression… of what surrounds me, moves me, and occupies me internally. It's my way of understanding life: abstract, intuitive, honest. Perhaps painting—whether childlike or adult—is simply the most direct way of making the indescribable more tangible.

Credentials

Simon Thon studied at the Ruhr Academy of Fine Arts and subsequently worked in advertising before becoming a freelance photographer. His photographic work also maintains a clear artistic expression. Nevertheless, painting remains his true focus. In his studio, his work evolved from early figurative, realistic motifs to increasingly freer abstraction. He rejects the constraints of a single style and understands art as an open process. His painting thus becomes an intimate form of communication and, at the same time, an instrument for understanding the world and its current tensions. Social contradictions, frictions, and shifts act as underlying forces in his paintings, lending them both emotional and intellectual urgency.
